Well, I just got a nice weight bench for christmas, and its really nice. PS, I have been working out before this. It's two piece, so i can seperate it to have a squatting rack. YaY! Here is my normal workout routein. I need help organizing it with what I now have, and what equitptment is listed below.

Always stretch before anything and everything.

Day One: 5x5 - Bench Press
5x5 - Incline Bench Press
5x5 - curls
5x5 - pull ups
5x5 - dumbell butterflys
3x50 - situps
3x30 - pushups

Day Two: 5x5 - Squat (on my bench :>)
5x5 - leg extentions (on the end of my bench)
5x5 - leg curls (on the end of my bench)

I do this every day of the week. Like monday is day 1, tuesday day two, wednesday day 1, and so on. What I have in my workout building is a tredmill (havent used in month, trying to bulk), ab lounge (but do normal situps), weight bench with squatting rack and leg thing on front, 2x20 pound dumbells, curling bar, bench press bar, about 190 pounds in free weights, pull up bar.

I always drink about 5 22oz bottles of water aday... My diet is totally healthy, so I do not need any help with that. I just need help with my workout routein. I want to work out everyday. Thanks,, here are some pictures. Please give feedback on how I look. I am 15, just turned. I just started lifting weights off and on like a year ago. Thanks!
 
You need more back work, upper and lower. I'd do some deadlifts, some upright rows, and bent over rows. I'd drop the pushups, and that doesn't need a replacement since you already have 3 other chest exercises. I'd do some weighted situps or some other higher intensity ab work.

I wouldn't work out every day, your cns needs a rest even with a split routine when your muscles are recovered.
 
if you can do chinups, thats a very good upper back exersice, it will also get you nice looking arms ;)

Looks like alot, need set/rep schemes.

Drop the pushups on off days, some GPP maybe using burpees but i wouldn't do simple pushups. Way too many curls, few suggestions.
 
Are You Training for Bulk or Function?

Since your sign in name is EliteMarine I am assuming that you are working out to become a better human being that has the ability to perform many different physical tasks with functional strength, superior conditioning and fitness excellence.

However, the workout programs you are employing seem to be more bodybuilding type programs than performance improvement programs.

Not that there is anything wrong with bodybuilding programs... especially if you are exclusively trying to bulk up.

However, if you are trying to reach your potential in the physical abilities of cardiorespiratory endurance, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, accuracy and toughness you are going to have to reevaluate how you want to spend your training time.

First things first... read over this physical fitness definition until it makes sense to you.

The acceptable and deliberate compromise of competence and ability to perform in ALL the areas of cardiorespiratory endurance, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance, accuracy and toughness to produce optimum performance results under the greatest amount of circumstances.
 
EliteMarine, looks like an ass kickin' program!! lol

i agree, drop the pushups on off days. burpees sound good.

i was thinkin you should try alternating reps. some sets do high weight low reps, and some sets do low weight high reps.

the curls look fine to me. EliteMarine is gonna turn into a monster.
 
ARRRRRR!!! Lol. I kinda need to do pushups on tues. and wed. cuz I need to be good at them. Will I naturally be good if I just do the rest? Because we have to do like 60 i one munute for raiders. I can barley get that.

If i will be good at them with all the other stuff, I will do burpees on tues and wed. sound good?
